I am renting a house and the heater downstairs wasn't working. The guy that worked on it was like, "Oh wow, that's definitely asbestos tape". All the corners of the ducts are taped. Is it harmful, and should I move or sue the landlord? I have no idea what it means, but the word asbestos just sacares me!

PLEASE HELP!!

I'm interested in sound proofing a relatively small enclosure, but also making it well ventilated- would that be easy/cheap to do?

we our having a hard time figuring out the angle to cut our crown moulding

when we cut it one angle the ends lines up perfect until we put it up against the ceiling then it doesn't line up anymore, caz the crown is in a tilt position when stuck up

so any clue what angles we have to use for each piece to match up?

the room is square plain jane nothing fancy

We are using a miterbox and saw. We don't have a compound miter saw.

So I was getting ready to install the new garage door opener, and I opened the box and pulled out the instructions. The first thing it said was "You need a screwdriver", and I thought , well, yeah, probably if I am going to do all this work, so I went in and fixed myself a screwdriver. I went back out to the garage and looked at the instructions again, and it said "You need a screwdriver", so , hey, why not. I had another screwdriver, but after the fourth or fifth time of reading these instructions, I didn't want to put in that dang garage door opener anymore. Now , what I want to know is this. Why do they make instructions like that? I remember that trick Proctor and Gamble played on me with "Shampoo, Rinse, Repeat" dangit, I was in the shower for three days. What do you think?

Hi, i've just bought a dartboard and cabinet (Phil Taylor set from Argos) but am not sure how and where to put it up. The best place in the house would be on a plasterboard wall. Would a plasterboard wall be strong enough to support a cabinet and dartboard and if so what is the best way of fitting it? Thanks in advance.

I currently have some "builder's grade" Broan exhaust fans in my bathroom. Over the last 5 years or so they have gotten REALLY noisy. It looks like it would be a huge pain in the butt to clean them -- the vacuum cleaner nozzle doesn't fit to clean it.

Anyway, Broan sells a kit to swap out the noisy fan (& motor). Are these worth it? And what do I need to look out for in terms of them fitting my existing fan housing? Also, I'm up for any other suggestions regarding quieting these fans. . .

Thanks!

Just purchased patterned carpet tiles for the storage room and after removing them from the box we realized that there are numbers (from 1 to 4) and arrows on the back of the tiles. Since this is my first time installing them, I have no idea what the numbers mean (no in-dept instructions included, except that I should lay them in the same direction (hence the arrows)) and how to use them to properly install the tiles. Do they go: row of 1-1-1 and then 2-2-2 or 1-2-3-4 or should I just look at the pattern and forget the numbers?
Any help greatly appreciated!
